The following days were peaceful. The Myriad Beasts Sect did not come knocking either.
Qin Di would visit Golden Core Academy every few days and give a half-day lecture whenever he was in a good mood. Every time, the seats below would be filled with disciples. Qi Refinement disciples were not the only ones – there were even disciples who had just reached Foundation Establishment.
One day, he was giving a lecture when he saw a bald burly man tugging at a young girl's braid.
The young girl was only 13 or 14 years old and had a frail body, as though she could fall from a single gust of wind. However, she was pretty with an oval face and watery eyes – she was very likable.
Initially, she was listening attentively when she felt someone tugging at her braid. She could not help but turn around and glare before shifting to the side.
The bald burly man was tugging at her braid with a mischievous smile.
The young girl was anxious and wanted to kick up a fuss. However, she was afraid that she would disturb the lecture and incur Uncle-Master Qin's displeasure. Hence, her face flushed red and tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Di could not stand it anymore and went down to lift the bald burly man up. He raised the wooden ruler and knocked on the man's head twice before asking, "What's your name?"
The bald burly man felt his head buzz and his expression turned ugly. "Senior Brother Qin, I'm Liang Xingfeng. Can't you save me some face in front of so many people? My uncle, Liang Xingjian, is in seclusion to form his core. When he comes out, he'll be a Golden Core. "
Qin Di had a faint smile on her face as she asked, "When did you build your foundation?"
"Hehe, I was lucky to reach Foundation Establishment in less than three years. I heard that Senior Brother Qin's lectures are filled with truths so I came to listen. Indeed, I've learned a lot! "
Qin Di narrowed his eyes. "I saw you at the auction house 60 years ago. At that time, you stood guard at the entrance for a Grade 4 flying boat, wanting to snatch it back! Do you know that I was the one who bought the flying boat and was almost blocked by you inside? "
The bald burly man frowned. "Huh? Did that happen? Senior Brother Qin, why can't I remember? That's impossible. Perhaps you've remembered wrongly. "
Qin Di said, "It's fine if you can't remember. It's been so long, and I won't bother you because of it. But what do you say today? In such a large lecture hall, under the watchful eyes of so many people, you are openly flirting with a young lady. What is the meaning of this? "
The bald man revealed a playful smile and said, "I'm checking her bones to see how talented she is. I'm going to take her as my disciple!"
The skinny girl stood up and said loudly, "Martial Uncle Qin, I don't want to be his disciple. His conduct is improper and he has ulterior motives. He is not fit to be my master!"
Qin Di's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Did you hear that? Improper conduct is a great taboo of the Golden Pill Sect! "
The bald man glared angrily at the girl and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? A mid-stage Qi Refining disciple actually offended a Foundation Establishment Martial Uncle, do you still want to stay in the sect? "
The girl's complexion turned pale, but her words were still firm. She said loudly, "Having a martial uncle like you is a disgrace to the Golden Pill Sect. I believe that Martial Uncle Qin will uphold justice for me."
The bald burly man still wanted to say something, but Qin Di slapped his forehead!
Qin Di shouted angrily, "Check my bones! Touch the hair from the bones? I'll let you quibble again! How dare you threaten a junior disciple in front of me! You've got guts! "
The bald man was knocked unconscious. He could only hold his head with both hands and squat on the ground.
Qin Di turned around and shouted, "Where are the disciples of the Discipline Hall?"
Immediately, two people appeared and bowed. "Martial Uncle Qin, what are your orders?"
Qin Di said, "Bring this person back and punish him according to his crime. If the punishment is too light, I will look for your Hall Master for an explanation. "
"Yes!" The two of them answered and took the man away.
Qin Di looked at the pale girl and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from? "
The girl answered, "My name is Su Yuntang. I was originally a disciple from a poor family in Qinhuai City. It was Martial Uncle Fan Yao who discovered me. Martial Uncle Fan said that she would take me in as a disciple when I entered the late stage of Qi Refinement. "
When Qin Di heard that, he was very pleased. "Good child, I like your personality very much. Fan Yao is my disciple. You can be considered my grand-disciple. If you've been wronged, come and tell me. "
"Grand … Grandmaster?" Su Yuntang was surprised and delighted.
She had just entered the Golden Core Sect and hadn't sorted out the internal relationships of the sect yet. However, she knew that the Palace Master of Golden Core Academy wasn't an ordinary person. He was a cultivator who could even kill Nascent Souls!
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel happy. Her pale face quickly regained its color.
Qin Di said, "Go back and sit down first. After Grandmaster finishes talking about the rest of the content, he will come and guide you in your cultivation."
"Yes." Su Yuntang sat down obediently.
The thousands of people in the hall looked at Su Yuntang quietly. Their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Many people were thinking, 'If I can't be Qin Di's disciple, I can even be his grand-disciple!'
When the lecture was over, Qin Di called Su Yuntang over.
"Little Su, what spirit root do you have?"
Su Yuntang replied respectfully, "Grandmaster, I have a second-grade wood spirit root."
Qin Di nodded. "Not bad. If you cultivate well, it won't be a problem for you to reach Golden Core and Nascent Soul. As for how far you can go in the end, it depends on your luck. Who else is in your family? "
When Su Yuntang heard that, she had a sorrowful expression. "Reporting to Grandmaster, I came from a poor family. I lived with my mother since I was young. Later, my mother died of illness, and I was left alone. When I was lonely, I met Master Fan Yao."
"What about your father?"
"I've never seen my father, and I've never heard my mother mention him. I remember that every time I asked, my mother would say that my father went far away. But when I grew up and my mother died of illness, I never saw my father. "
Qin Di said, "Since you have a second-grade spirit root, your ancestor must be a Perfected Cultivator. Maybe your father isn't an ordinary person. You don't need to think too much about this. Since you've entered the sect, you should take good care of yourself first. Strive to reach the peak of the Aura Refining realm as soon as possible and advance to the Foundation Building realm. "
Su Yuntang bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster. I understand this principle. If my father is still alive, I might have the opportunity to meet him. If he's not, it's useless for me to think too much. "
"En, the first time we met, Grandmaster gave you a storage ring. I don't know what's inside, but Grandmaster didn't bother to check it. Whatever's inside, it's your luck. "
Su Yuntang used his weak divine sense to look inside and found that the storage ring was full of things. Some of them had already decayed, but there were still many spirit materials, spirit weapons, and even a large pile of spirit stones. Her heart couldn't help but pound.
"Thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you, Grandmaster! "
